In 1852 Jeremiah H. Woods and Alexander McQueen established a ferry across the Mokelumne River at
this point. As a result, a new road from Stockton to Sacramento by way of Wood's Ferry was established.
In 1858 Woods built a bridge at the site of the ferry from which the town, laid out in April 1859,
took its name.

Several 19th Century buildings survive in Woodbridge near the Mokelumne River including the 1865 building
pictured here and two national register buildings: the Masonic Lodge
and the IOOF Hall.

We could not locate a commemorative plaque for the Town of Woodbridge.

Some Missing California Plaques

When we visited the following sites, we were unable to locate a California commemorative plaque.

At some sites, it appeared that a California plaque had never been erected. At other sites, there was a base, but
the plaque itself was missing. Some sites without California plaques had other historic markers, but they did not note
that the site is a California Historical Landmark.
